Edu Grau recalls shooting on 35mm with a Zippo as the light source, the meter barely registering. He and Rodrigo picked film over the Red. The lab then called three shots unusable, and he went to the screening fearing dismissal. The first was perfect; the next two were too dark. ㅤ Grau shot Buried for Rodrigo Cortés and A Single Man for Tom Ford. He told the story on Team Deakins. ㅤ Source: Team Deakins, Edu Grau ㅤ Follow @occupycinematography for more. ㅤ #EduGrau #Cinematography #Cinematographer #DOP #Lighting
